Price Dynamics:

  • Over the past 6 months, the median price of 1+1 apartments has fluctuated between £166,000 and £170,000, driven by the introduction of a significant number of units at lower prices in remote areas such as Güzelürt.
  • The median price of 1+1 houses increased by 4% in May, reaching £399,000.

The price of apartments is primarily influenced by the location of the complex and the availability of infrastructure.
